Also comes from that Matt Hayes article:
Georgia: 60.87. Percentage of TDs scored in the red zone, good for 6th in the SEC.
cfbstats.com says that red zone TD% was actually only good for eighth in the conference, but you get the idea. There’s certainly room for improvement.
That being said, with that tight end room he’s got on hand, I suspect Todd Monken’s on the mother.

Dogshit, I tell ya. AR15 would be at 70% playing all by himself.

That did not feel like a problem last year. We took a knee a few times, so I wonder what the non-garbage time stat is?

To me this is the kind of stat that is more useful to gamblers than it is to me. The last game we played we had 3 TDs and only one came in the red zone. I don’t care where they come from. Plus, both teams in that game had trouble scoring TDs in the red zone, because both teams had good defenses. I guess I need to go cfbstats to see the highest %age of red zone scores, but I’ll bet it isn’t an SEC team.

This. And how many TD did we get off 20+ yard passes/runs outside of the red zone?
When you run the clock out purposely for most of the 3rd and all of the 4th quarter nearly every game, some statistics take a back seat to the most important one: The Scoreboard.

Yeah, you’re right on top of this one, DDB…nationally, Kentucky was 8th in red zone TDs, and then Alabama–all the way down to 25th. Alabama’s percentage was 67.6, too, not some massive difference.

With the defense we had, we didn’t have to gamble much once we got in the red zone. Kicking field goals was a viable option most of the time.

It can be taken to an extreme, but the premise that every drive should end with a kick isn’t wrong.

I’ll take defensive scores, pick 6s & turnovers forced vs Florida’s offense in our own red zone for 100 please Ken.

Per cfbstats UGA ranked 4th in RZ opportunities (tied with Ole Miss and +1 on Bama) “If we only had a QB…”
